The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny Villages wafts from the glass with pretty aromas of Griotte cherry, raspberry and rose petal. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a crystalline core of fruit, juicy acids and serious substance, its chassis of fine-grained but firm tannins asserting itself on the finish. From barrel, one might have been deceived into thinking this would develop into a youthfully immediate Chambolle Villages: from bottle, it's clearly built for the longer haul. The philosophical François Millet recapitulated the history of the 2015 vintage, which he describes as "a sublime year" which remains resolutely "terroir driven" despite its ripeness and concentration. It was a trying season, he reminded me, with a dry summer alleviated by rain—but not too much rain—at the critical moment in August. "It was quite stressful, because at the beginning we didn't know that it would have a happy ending," he reflected. It was also a year of abundant structure, where "it was not necessary to push." The ensuing range of wines is very fine, including a Bonnes Mares which ranks high among recent vintages, and a beautiful Musigny Vieilles Vignes which I suspect will evolve at a glacial pace.
236, The Wine Advocate
90 / 100 Allen Meadow
A very pretty and elegant nose merges notes of spice and floral elements with those of red and dark currant. There is fine richness to the relatively full-bodied flavors that possess a caressing mouthfeel as well as a subtle minerality that extends to the delicious and seductive finale where a hint of bitter cherry pit emerges. This is a robust and very serious Chambolle villages that is a bit less elegant than usual though it's more powerful.
